# Diyadin Incident

On June 23, 1994 in Diyadin, a group of commandos attached to the Van District Gendarmerie Group Command were sent out on a reconnaissance mission during a search and destroy operation to gather intelligence. They were dressed up as Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorists but due to a lack of communication, other personnel from their unit opened fire on them, killing six.

A short movie was made for one of the martyrs, Mehmet Arslan. It was a part of a series dedicated for other Turkish soldiers who were killed in different times.
